The only piece of evidence I have is that:

- Debian explicitly mentioned NOPL-less i686 processors as being
  supported in stretch AND
- this mention vanishing in buster and bullseye

Not being a native speaker of English, is there any other possible
interpretation of this removal than the retraction of support for
NOPL-less i686 processors?

I have never seen Debian issue release notes like "the frobnication
processor is no longer supported", and i386 being the former mainstream
architecture, there is no explicit porter group to talk to.

I am afraid that my time resources are limited. If you want continued
action on this but report, please talk to the gcc and/or linux
maintainers in Debian and have them tell me that the Geode LX is still
supported.

I apologize, but I do not intend at the moment to reduce sudo's
hardening level just to have it run on Geode LX.

Greetings
Marc
